summer sun... and sunburn....

Hey yes it is indeed another blog! Although - it is summer. I have handed in my honours project. I doubt I will write many blogs at all over the next few months, although things may change when I move to Auckland. Anyway. I went to Akaroa today - Karthik and I drove Ollie over for some computer vision conference. So I walked around and even swam a little and it was all very nice. I thought about the sun after getting burned in Irwell last week, and bought some expensive suncream, and then applied it badly and now have a few stripes and other interesting very very red spots all over my body.

Woe is me.

However. Ummm went tramping with Lisa and Matt last week, Mt Somers, it was great...had my picnic in Irwell last Tues, shopped on Sat and went into town, Sunday had choir - have a concert this Friday night so it was choir tonight, and again on Wed... having lunch with Mum tomorrow and then spending the arvo with Miels.

Oh built my new computer too last week! It's cool. It's blue and has see-through bits on the case and the coolest little tiny mouse - it needed an extension cord but is now great :)

Bamboo can grow three feet in twenty-four hours

Well I was going to blog and comment especially on how wonderful the weather has been lately but the wind is picking up now and I hate wind... but still the sunshine and general warmth has been just super!

I am so happy at the moment. Despite having to do my honours project still, and having a Russian exam tomorrow. Hey, I know units 1 and 2 really well, the only problem is that there are 6.5 units. I started studying properly today, and got through one unit. so that means I'm taking a wee while to get places. However. I'm remaining optomistic (as always). Oh and there's the rest of that marking too..

Other than this - further flat alterations are going on, the electric paint sander thingie was not the best thing to wake up to yesterday morning when it was going less than 1m from my head. To be fair, it was after 10am.. but I was really tired! and today the painters were there.

Went home in the weekend, nice to see the family even if not for a lot of time. Also made some exciting purchases - hair elastics in honour of the last soccer game, some lip gloss (I was in the pharmacy already) and a present. Presents are so exciting!

umm what else. Had lunch with Jess Ritchie today, and Richard Wards Tuesday, both people I haven't seen for ages (esp. Richard) - it's been cool catching up with people a little more lately.

I need some beauty sleep though. Maybe Friday night??? after my possible trip to see Fireworks...
